Subject: [ruby-talk:15716] which ones are atomic?

Which ones of the below are atomic (so I don't have to use mutex in
a threaded program). Is there a reference on this?

1. i += 1
2. i = i+1
3. puts "a really, really long string"
4. a, b, c = d, e, f
5. a, b, c = a+1, b+1, c+1
6. 1.times { |i| a+=i }
7. var = ['a', ['rather','complex'], {'data':'structure'}, 'definition']

Of course, when in doubt, I mutex.

Thanks,
Steve
